The President went to Selma, Alabama
to celebrate and commemorate the march across the bridge that helped bring
civil rights to the forefront, into the living rooms of all Americans, and help
move it forward. I say celebrate the sacrifices made that day in Selma by
people of all colors, yes, mostly black, but many others as well. The actions
of those people that day sparked and continued a movement that couldn’t and
won’t be stopped! Jump ahead 50 years. We have a black president, a black
attorney general, and many positions of authority at the White House are filled
by people who have black skin (sorry, I’m not calling them all “African-American”
because I have been told by many blacks that they are not all of African
descent). We have come a long way in 50 years. I have to say, the President
made many good and honest remarks in his speech about the sacrifices made that
day for black Americans. But it stops there. [more...]

Two
Ferguson police officers resigned after the release of a Justice
Department report that cited racist e-mail exchanges
involving members of the city’s police force and local court officials;
and, likewise, Court Clerk Mary Ann Twitty was fired Wednesday due to similar
issues. The e-mails depicted several malicious jokes that were based on
offensive stereotypes. This happened shortly before a weekend that honored the
50th anniversary of the civil rights march on Selma, which led to a change in
voting laws. Selma represents a darker time in U.S. history where 50 years
later the nation’s first black president delivered a speech on the same bridge
among recent ugly months full of racially controversial events yet again. [more...]

New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo
is seeking to reverse an existing state law regarding mixed martial arts (MMA).
MMA was actually banned in New York, the only state in the nation to do so;
this occurred when Sheldon Silver held the position of Speaker of the New York
State Assembly. The action that Gov. Cuomo is currently contemplating would
provide, among other things, a much needed boost to the economy of the Empire
State. [more...]

NASA Admits That Winters are
Going to Get Colder... Much Colder

Climate
change has been a volatile issue for years, even amongst leading scientists and
researchers from other disciplines. In his new book, Dark
Winter: How the Sun is Causing a 30-Year Cold Spell,
scientist John L. Casey, a former White House
national space policy advisor, NASA headquarters consultant and space shuttle
engineer, tells the truth about ominous changes taking place in the climate and
the sun. Climatologist Casey thinks that last year's winter, described by USA Today as "one of the
snowiest, coldest, most miserable on record" is going to be a regular
occurrence over the coming decades. Casey asserts that there is mounting
evidence that the Earth is getting cooler due to a decline in solar activity.
He warns that a major alteration of global climate has already started and that
at a minimum, it is likely to last 30 years. Casey predicts food shortages and
civil unrest caused by those shortages due largely to governments not preparing
for the issues that colder weather will bring. He also predicts that wickedly
bitter winter temperatures will see demand for electricity and heating outstrip
the supply. [more...]

On
this week's POLITICAL INSIDERS, we discussed John Kerry's
still-very-much-alive presidential aspirations for 2016 and how this Iranian nuke
deal fits into those plans; how President Obama and Secretary Kerry are
desperate to make this deal; the Hillary e-mail fiasco; and the GOP
"hitting the wall" after only two months in power. Watch our shows
here: SundayPart
